Recycling and Trash Containers

In Atlantic County, we have options when it comes to putting recyclables out on the curb. Whether you want to use a recycling bucket, cart or your own container, the choice is yours. We don’t care what you put your recycling in, just that it’s put out there!

Atlantic City, Dennis Township, Folsom, Galloway and Port Republic residents are not eligible. Residents residing in apartment buildings are not eligible. Request your bucket online. Additional buckets can be purchased for $10 at our Environmental Park Geo Building.
